The traffic in Orange is getting fairly hectic now too imo
I heard a comedian say "it's strange how we can say we don't like something without even trying it. My kids don't like asparagus, but they haven't even tasted it."
Come on over to Bathurst, where you can smell the sewerage works on a calm day!
You are allowed to leave. Or are you not?
I was born in Mudgee! It's an awesome little town
I'm sure it's nice, maybe I should give it a try sometime soon.
It's very remote
Interesting- my dad was in the military so we moved around my whole life but the one constant was we had a property in cooks gap and my grandma lived in mudgee. So i love it soooo much, but I would be a ‘tourist’ as far as the locals are concerned.
Anyway, i think it’s beautiful.
How can their trainers be in Warialda? There is only like 1 1/2 cops.
Hahaha my mum used to have that sticker on her car
Laurieton NYE on the water is incredible
Currently live in Berry and can also confirm it's true. We are moving away later this year because we can't stand the people who live here, as we are not wealthy or snobs.
I mean how much can a koala bear?
Proper Ugg boots are fucking expensive though.
Shitty Kmart ones, sure they’re cheap. But ones with actual wool and actual sheepskin can cost a fortune.
"Don't you.. fuggen..."
Except it can be quite a racist town considering the small population (is it still ~9k?) My mate taught there for 4 years and I visited quite a few times. Lots of stories I have.
Or a cinema,or an ambulance station.....
Yeah, it's more like dapdo
He's around further north, sadly. I have bumped into him in Dan Murphy's at Armidale a few times and buying pies in Uralla.
I remember the days when you had to dial an area code to phone Penrith from Sydney.
Lol I grew up on the southern Gold Coast and your not wrong but it’s still awesome. I’d love to move back if it wasn’t so damn expensive now.
To be honest I haven’t lived down that way for ten years so I have no idea.
I mean depending on where you live in Tweed you can just walk across the road and be in the GC plus you have access to all the Gold Coast and Brisbane unis if you want to travel a bit further. I actually think Tweeds in a better spot than some of the more inland and northern suburbs of the Gold Coast just for the fact that the busses run 24hours along the Gold Coast from Tweed Heads to Paradise Point.
So long as you're out of flood!
I live in Newcastle. Its even worse
If you meet one cunt in a day, you’ve met a cunt. If everyone around you is a cunt, you need to evaluate who the cunt truly is.
🤣🤣 You must be from Guyra
Yeah, the bypass keeps the undesirables out.
Australian's do not say/use "Ya'll".
Fucking stop it.
I don't want to live anywhere else. It's my home now. Not perfect, but home.
Indian Rasoi and Dom's Pizza Parlor in Turkey shops are all you needed to say mate.
(I agree though, we really do have amazing stuff in this town)
I use the bike track. There's usually few families there every weekend
Because the local ice junkies in woy named “Roy” would get confused as that’s how the locals in woy woy say Roy
"Wagga!" "Woy!"
"Wagga!" "Woy!"
"Wagga Wagga Wagga!" "Woy Woy Woy!"
I've never not been bulk billed at glenrock in glenfield.
Thank you - great information.
Zero %
Mostly winter
When you say hectic do you mean that your commute takes 6 minutes instead of 5?
It is
nah i'm staying until i finish school then having gap year, going to uni in sydney in about 2 years, so leaving soonish
Me too!
And knew Mudgee would be well spoken about haha!
IKR SHHHH mine cost $170! I am going to see if there are any Whales in the sea near my place. The Illawarra is really bad don't come here!
Tells us one can you.
Orly the cinema burnt down? God damn. How can one small town… actually, pretty much one street in one small town have so many things just burn down?
Yeah, they sadly canned it during COVID, Club Banora is apparently the club to go to now for a feed. Having grown up in Tweed, I've never had any reason to step foot in any of the clubs here other than for our Liquor Accord meetings haha.
That's right, we say "y'all"
That’s great. I should have said the bike path around the city. I hardly ever see anyone riding on it.
Oof. Savage.
Good. I’ll try it.
I don't live in Orange but i have to go in there to do my shopping, and i hate it every time. I lived in Melbourne for 10 years so i know what shithouse traffic looks like, and i gotta say Orange is getting bad! Too many trend-setters for the size of the town, haha
It has 2 main streets, and what can i say, like all rural places, it has it has it fill of " interesting people who you dont want to get on the wrong side of"...but it was a great place to grow up in, filled with many great generous caring and charitable people.
Well got dam!!!
I'm all for more bike infrastructure
2257 bruvva
Each to their own. I think it's pretty good. Car parks are a bit shit because there are a few old fuddy duddies who are a bit slow but otherwise I think it's fine.
I think it’s good too, but we have all our bicycle paths to the city which aren’t much used and cost 15 million dollars. That would have built a lot of social housing or playground equipment or tree cover. Or food pantry supplies. We are very lucky in this town to be so flooded with money that we have many things that other towns don’t. This one thing is something I don’t feel is well used is all.
Like the one behind Woolies.
I’ve fostered many stray kittens over the years and you’re allowed to keep them if they don’t belong to anyone.
However, we once found a puppy that was unchipped and we were told we were legally not allowed to keep him even if we wanted to.
Why the difference?
Oddly enough dog stealing or possessing the skin of a stolen dog sits in the NSW Crimes Act
Hmm, legally the owner could claim them. Microchipping is just a tool, not proof of ownership.
So you can keep them, so long as no one claims them, but the lack of microchip doesn't give you any special rights.
The Key difference is that Dogs have masters, Cats have staff!
If this is true, I'd say it would be because cats were never used for racing, fighting, or as work animals, so no money involved in the 'way back when'
Because they never raced cats.
To clarify, stray/unchipped dogs apparently need to given to shelter. They can’t be fostered and then kept by the person who found them even if unclaimed.
I know of no such law, regulation or rule.
Lismore is 12m above sea level (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lismore,_New_South_Wales).
It's 30km as the crow flies, or 80km as the river flows to the ocean.
That's a gradient of 15cm per km (via the river path) or 0.015%.
No wonder it floods.
If there was ever a case for mass-relocation, this is probably one of them.
This is really insulting. If Lismore was only 100kms North we’d simply have the funding. Why does the NSW government have a dangerous disregard for it’s regional and rural populations?
Jihad Dib is located in Bankstown I think. Vote with your feet people. Stop voting along party lines, just vote for the people that will serve you interests. In a representative democracy, with mandatory voting, you only have yourself to blame if the person you elect don’t represent you.
Lismore has been there since adam was a pup and deserves to be helped like any other town.......
I'll give Lismore a flood warning system for free. Here it is: it's gonna fucking flood.
Oh fuck this red tape buck passing bullshit! I guarantee if any of these pen pushers experienced what we did and the ongoing aftermath they’d be throwing money at us. And it’s not just for Lismore, I’m on the lower end of the Richmond and we are fucked down here without the relevant data from the upper catchments. No one was able to evacuate before the roads in every direction were already cut, even over 24 hours BEFORE the evacuation orders! The damage to the gauges still weren’t fixed from the 2017 flood, which I can almost certainly guess was due to state government dragging their feet. I’m so sick of being invisible because we aren’t part of Greater Sydney. This shit is just another kick whilst we’re still down. Fuck
Hey
I got a home loan some years back and lived in the property, hence it was an “owner occupier” mortgage. Since that time I have moved in with a partner and rented out the property. Am I under an obligation to tell the lender I no longer live there and if so would they shift me to an “investor” rate on mortgage? Am in NSW Australia with a major bank lender
I dont drive and would need a train to go places. Lately I caught a few trains that seemed to be not a tangara or something remotely like it but old rattler silver trains with really bouncy squeaky vibes and those much older seats and the floor that looks like its sticky eternally. Which made me suddenly notice i had to try and see out the windows at night to guess the station game I remember playing that game when i was much younger. But thinking on it, why wasnt the suspension or wheels 'modernized' i dont mind them recycling traincars if they uhh i dunno clean them up and reupholster them and resin coat them like those pebblecrete pool sides or outdoor areas or resin flooring? but yeah it feels like theres often maintenance and track work happening, but im not seeing a whole lot of 'difference' and seeing MORE maintenance and track work. When considering things like the hyperloop being a big tube with the air sucked out and a maybe $60k possibly diesel motor and a 'chain' or cord rope thingy of metal like stuff pulling it along at rocket fast speeds. I think we dont need that fast or that vacuum just going to a cable car maybe our drivers would be more on time. Heck we might even have to make it one big loop pulling it along choo choo, delays waiting for signals? not arriving on time? whats that? power lines down? engine problems? brakes? why would this not be at least something to consider and how would it be way more expensive and not better in any way?
I mean sure NSW trains u get the occasional bushfires or whatever and then the train driver stops to wait on signals and the fires on the grass at the fence right off those flint rock stone piles edge and u can feel the heat on one of the hottest days and the drivers probably instagramming it or something and maybe doesnt see how close it is from up front or something.. maybe the drivers calling it in like "yeah the passengers are totally roasted i think the next few trains being roasted a good 15 minutes or two and they'll be totally done you could stop the trains going through here after maybe 5 more?" and the aircons not working or off to not suck in smoke or whatever.. and you wait like 15 minutes before the train mysteriously starts moving.. You go for job interviews or first day of work the trains always late.. you recall how japan trains being over 5 minutes late meant you got a written card/note for work to show your boss what caused the delay and it almost never happened. Would pulling all the trains along on a rope help them be more in time or not need some special signals and traffic lights on a single track.. Would some sort of conveyorbelt people stand inside of or on top of be better somehow just eliminate the train in indias trains and have it be .. possibly better and less maintenance and save on power and repairs and stuff? is there the correct radiation proof tinting on the train windows i wonder? idle speculations i have about the transport system.
I dont expect some sorta Initial D for Densha with the trains swinging the carriages out sideways horizontally driving drifting across two train lines tracks and the train driver checking his rear view mirror racing to stay in front of the 'previous train that left the station' .. i mean getting there before the train that left 15 minutes after your train.. on the same train line.. thats not possible right?
im guessing a monorail was supposed to be this type of system with the pulled by a motor thingy.. but everybody didnt like them and reserved them all for tourists with dumb voices like "to your left is a majestic ancient pile of bricks that was maybe torn down for something just as old looking so you probably dont see it anymore but when this automated pre-recorded message was recorded it was quite the pile of bricks worth every bit of your flight costs getting here just to glimpse at from an overpriced monorail carriage window and probably close to 20bucks ride ticket". I cant figure out why theres these uhh ancient train tracks tracks.. and not a 'newer' type of track as even a monorail stupidly seems.. more sensible and less maintenance. i mean a few locations with a couple engines and backup engines and engineers not needing to ride each train or whatever.. and being able to just spool some chain/cord/rope out to get a train going again seems.. well better than repairing or laying tracks honestly. Is there a reason for sydney trains being.. as they are? im fairly sure that if you look at other trains around the planet, it doesnt need to be maglev or hyperloop. NSW trains are maybe a joke if bought up at a planning meeting the costs and the uhh viability of it seems seems unrealistic.
Just to mention I lol'd at the mention of MULTI TRACK DRIFTING.
(Seriously, was this generated from a LLM trained off 4chan..)
Ahh the old "development" fire on a historic building. Par for the course.
How convenient
I am sure the developer is devastated. I wonder how long before he submits plans for the new 20 story tower?
Derelict and boarded up for as long as I can recall. According to the weather it was minus 4 last night and I'll bet it was so foggy that you could swim through the air. Suspicious as.
In Yass, 5 storeys would look like a skyscraper.
Hopefully soon given the state of housing there.
